Was very happy to finally get Android 9 (Pie) on my unlocked LG G7 Thinq about a month ago. Oreo was working great, so I should have been a little more skeptical.
And now I'm really regretting it!
Anyone have any solutions to these issues? (which came with Pie):
- The "WiFI Calling" switch in settings randomly turns itself off! I'm on T-Mo, so seamless WiFi calling is critical in my area inside some buildings. This is NOT a case of the phone deciding to not switch to WiFi, rather the virtual switch in settings MOVES ITSELF TO THE OFF POSITION. I find myself surprised to see "Emergency Calling Only" when I try to make a call, then find WiFi calling is turned off.
- "Do Not Disturb" ignores schedules. For the year I've used this phone, it flawlessly went into DND at 10PM, then came out of it at 6AM, as selected by the schedule in settings. No longer after Pie. I can turn on DND manually, but IT IGNORES ANY SCHEDULE.
- Battery drain is awful. I've cleared cache, then reset the phone to no avail. Before Pie, I'd see 6-8% drain overnight (doze mode, I guess). But after Pie, with the same setup, the battery will drop 15-20% overnight. Faster discharge during the day as well.
Terribly disappointed in LG. This is their flagship from last year. It took forever to get Pie, so you'd think it would be right. And I'm afraid that these problems will never be fixed.

Works Great!
